The cure, flaming Lips or even Kooks or Kasabian - a commercial act who haven't played here in a while.

I would go for sigur ros, but think alot of the average r/l customer would be a little confused.

Some great shouts made, I'd love The Flaming Lips to play again, they were amazing at Rockness.

I'd love to see a 90s band play like Super Furry Animals or Supergrass but sadly I can't see it happening.

Beck would be fantastic as well , it's been 6 years since he last played so he's due back.

All the suggestions have been awesome haha - Flaming lips, Tool (!!), Offspring, Sonic youth... Loads of bands spring to mind, that being said i never bothered to see Bloc party the last 2 times they played, so maybe i might do this time.. They seem pretty insistent!

i don't think Bloc Party are badly placed this year, it's just a waste of time them doing the same thing every year!

Arcade Fire would have been a good call
arcade fire would be good, enjoyed seeing them twice in 07 at glastonbury & reading

however I don't think they have any new material out?

Ahh The Kooks, if the Kooks played I'd quite like them to play some old songs, Naive/She Moves In Her Own Way :P

Oh yeah, Kasabian. I forgot about them. Enjoyed them at Glastonbury and the Leeds/Readiong crowd would surely lap them up?

Funnily enough, I dreamt not long ago that Pixies played 2nd to Radiohead this year. Would be reat to have them on the bill but it would be a bit odd, having a band headline not long after they reformed then a few years later play 2nd on the bill.

I've also just reminded myself about how I dreamt last night that Blur played 3rd down on the Radiohead day. Strange how I keep dreaming about this year's line-up actually having jaw-dropping names on the bill...:P

Kasabian never disappoint. Would have liked doves there maybe knock up YYY or throw Lostprophets onto main as that clash disappoints.

Seen bloc party 2 times this year, amazing at Olympia and well supported by foals, rubbish at the itunes fest. Sunday 30th should be interesting.

As has been well documented on here in the past, if I ever met Morrissey I would try to set him on fire. Or maybe just punch him as hard as possible in the throat, depends how much time I have

I agree with this.
And a Lostprophets/Bloc Party switch around would make me a happy person.
